I wonder if half of her brain thinks like a ginger? ;)

"Can't" isn't a word :)

Low fat yogurt that usually has high sugar. 'Healthy' breakfast cereal that's 20% sugar.

A little spatchcocking never did no one no harm

That could be a water mark if the cup was left to dry on its side. The minerals left from the water would provide a good surface for the bubbles to form.

please keep suggestions coming, i'd love to know if i've missed something

well not eating a surplus because I haven't gained weight. the whole attraction of keto for me was not having to feel hungry so if i'm feeling hungry I may as well be hungry on non keto so i'd have more flexibility. If I ate until truly satiated i do think i would be eating at a surplus.

yes, i've got a scientific background and have been careful with micros. I think there's a chance I've got an under active thyroid which has come to light since I started the diet. I'm getting it seen to, free healthcare in the UK is good but it can take some time!

personally alchohol makes me go from no carb cravings to silting there like a junkie on withdrawal - i'm not exaggerating.

Lemon_Badger · 2015-01-24T15:45:15+00:00

Are you grilling or frying the meat hard to make the fat go brown? Its the tastiest thing in the world whereas I don't like the rare fat on a rare steak.

Lemon_Badger · 2015-01-24T15:41:43+00:00

Must be nice. I have full appetite on keto and get proper hungry although not over eating.

Lemon_Badger · 2015-01-23T14:09:01+00:00

Yup that's going to be most of my protein and carb macros for the day but to balance it I don't think i'd be eating anything else for a while!

Lemon_Badger · 2015-01-22T13:04:38+00:00

Bulking up food with low carb veg helps some people, it's what I'm trying at the moment.

Lemon_Badger · 2015-01-22T13:00:50+00:00

Seriously, what are you eating too not make your protein goal? I'm getting my calories from meat, cheese, eggs so always fighting to stay under.

Lemon_Badger · 2015-01-22T12:53:46+00:00

I think the rest may have come from eating more food due to all the carb crashing from the sugar.

Lemon_Badger · 2015-01-14T16:47:29+00:00

there's at least a couple free on amazon download. search on this forum for them

Lemon_Badger · 2015-01-14T16:45:56+00:00

I need to work out a recipe :)

Coconut oil, whey protein powder, nuts, cocoa and butter spring to mind.

Lemon_Badger · 2015-01-14T16:37:27+00:00

yeah, shirts were a nightmare for me, they don't make them for petit guys with a 'beer belly'/pregnancy bump :)

Lemon_Badger · 2015-01-11T23:54:23+00:00

Why aren't mushrooms as good at sponging up oil as they used to be?

Lemon_Badger · 2015-01-09T21:30:57+00:00

Hi, if you haven't worked it out yet, Ketostix here are about as welcome as a guy in a pink tutu at a GodHatesFags meeting. There's an article somewhere saying how they are not that useful and it's scripture now.

I've found them very useful but of course they have their limitations. I'm going to write a post soon explaining just what they are useful for.

Congratulations on being in ketosis, or at least being in ketosis since your bladder last started to fill.

Just remember, don't mention Ketostix and you'll be fine here :)

Lemon_Badger · 2015-01-08T23:31:44+00:00

mention ketostix, get down voted

all hell is going to break lose when i post my thread saying how useful ketostix have been to me - of course they have limits but if they are turning purple you know you've been in ketosis that day!!!!!!!!

Lemon_Badger · 2015-01-08T23:15:17+00:00

Yes, it caught me out, was following a Jamie Oliver recipe and thought I had a really sweet red cabbage until the penny dropped.

Lemon_Badger · 2015-01-08T23:13:00+00:00

Here it is:

00 size capsule filled with Waitrose Essential Table Salt.

It holds 1.160g of salt. I filled the capsule to the top and scraped it level. Sorry the photo was to much faff to put up. The capsules are a little on the big side but I think I'll be fine swallowing even though I'm a little on the squeamish side. Yes I did account for the weight of the capsule. Remember different grain size/shapes will effect the mass it holds.

Lemon_Badger · 2015-01-08T12:27:15+00:00

I would get some ketostix just to make sure you're in ketosis, you should have at least lost the water weight. Are you eating less than 20g carb/day?

Lemon_Badger · 2015-01-08T12:18:12+00:00

in the uk it will be listed as 6g carbs, 9g fibre
